TOUCHSCREEN
INTRODUCTION
Our machines come out-of-the-box with an interface unit, which is composed of
two
elements
:
•
a 7 inches TFT touchscreen
;
•
a customized Bluetooth keypad
.
The
touchscreen
will allow you to
control your machine via PlanetCNC
, but also to
navigate on the Raspberry Pi
if you need to browse your folders, edit some files, or even
browse the web.
The Bluetooth
keypad
offers an alternative to handle your machine easily and intuitively:
most of the keys have been
remapped to specific functionalities of PlanetCNC
and will
serve as
useful shortcuts
to control it.
If you wish to use your own screen, keyboard & mouse as an interface to control the
machine, it is of course possible. Simply connect your devices at the back of the control
unit and change the resolution of the Raspberry Pi to fit your new screen.
